--- Comment #3 from Charlie Li <vish...@freebsd.org> ---
What manual is this?

The devel/py-setuptools currently in tree is "temporarily" pinned to
devel/py-wheel044 until the update can happen, so you will need to temporarily
remove devel/py-wheel so that 044 can be installed, then remove 044 once
finished.

In a more general sense however, building Python packages (FreeBSD or not)
outside of isolated environments like poudriere or virtual environments is not
really supported. While we in FreeBSD strive to have the ability to build stuff
on live systems/environments, we are still beholden to the warts of the greater
communities of the stuff ported. The Python packaging community (and a couple
others) has effectively required them for support purposes as incompatibilities
and breakages between even not-quite-major package versions happen often, and
different versions cannot be installed concurrently.
